Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Our society relies on electrical engineers for everything from low power electrical machines, control systems, to high voltage electrical power generation and distribution systems. electrical and electronic engineering is at the core of the modern world, from computers, to digital circuits, photonics and a wealth of electronic devices. electrical and electronic engineering is one of the most satisfying subjects that you can study. if your interests are science, technology or mathematics, then consider electrical and electronic engineering as your career. you will use your imagination, creativity and knowledge to provide society with the complex systems it needs. in your future career you may design the machines that supply our energy needs, digital control systems for aircraft, internet-enabled sensors, design complete computer systems on a silicon chip, photonics to instrument the ocean depths, create stunning electronic displays, or design the latest communications satellite or mobile phone.

Electrical engineers work with a wide range of large electrical devices, from power stations to renewable energy devices. they work with control systems involving motors and computers in industrial plant such as an offshore structure. electronic engineers design and build computer systems, often specialised computers for a specific task. they develop instrumentation and optical systems that provide the eyes and wears we need to understand our world.career opportunities electrical engineer engineering project coordinator rov project manager subsea controls engineer technical sales manager
